Hello there,
I hope that someone can help me with this little question concerning LVM and encryption.
I recently reinstalled Hardy 64-bit after I screwed up my setup trying to be clever (don't ask!:oops:). It is now installed from the Alternate CD in an encrypted LVM (paranoid about hard drive theft!) on a single 160GB drive. I have a second, identical drive that I'd now like to set up as a mirror to the first drive, for resiliency and redundancy (spent too long in the past rebuilding PCs due to drive failures!)
Thing is that I've not used LVM previously so don't know whether encrypted LVM mirroring is possible, and if it is, how it's done.
Has anyone else got this sort of config working? If so, can anyone point me to a How-to, or offer advice on setting it up?
Thanks in advance to the community.
